International Foodborne Disease Stakeholder Event Assessing The Impact Of Food Contamination On Health (Medical News Today)
Outbreaks of food contamination occur regularly across the world, and illness and death from diseases caused by unsafe food are a constant threat to populations everywhere. However, the full picture of the impact and costs of foodborne diseases - in industrialized as well as developing countries - is to date unknown.

Acrylic glass made of sugar (PhysOrg)
In future, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) - better known as acrylic glass - could be made from natural raw materials such as sugars, alcohols or fatty acids. PMMA is manufactured by polymerising methyl methacrylate (MMA). In a bacterial strain, scientists at the University of Duisburg-Essen and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) have found an enzyme which could be used for the ...

Shifts In Soil Bacterial Populations Linked To Wetland Restoration Success (Science Daily)
Researchers have found that restoring degraded wetlands -- especially those that had been converted into farm fields -- actually decreases soil bacterial diversity. More than half of original wetland acreage in the U.S. has been destroyed or degraded, but some has been restored in recent decades under the federal government's "no net loss" policy.
